Easy Pineapple Coconut Upside-down Cake image

This is so quick and tasty. Use the chunks or the rings with cherries, your choice. Maybe make a whipped cream flavored with rum extract. I love cast iron since it can go from on top of burner and right into the oven, but you can make it in a regular pan. Just be careful when melting butter and brown sugar

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box(es) duncan hines yellow cake mix
3 - eggs
1 can(s) 20oz. pineapple chunks
1 cup(s) water
1 cup(s) shredded sweetened coconut
1/3 cup(s) vegetable oil
1 stick(s) dark brown sugar
1 stick(s) butter salted or unsalted, your choice

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 350° Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet, then add the brown sugar and dissolve. Take off heat and place the chunks on the brown sugar. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup over the top. Put aside
  • Now in a strainer over a bowl, drain the pineapple chunks and save the juice
  • Next, in a large bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, oil and mix until smooth.
  • Then take the pineapple juice you saved and measure in a measuring cup up to a cup and use that instead of water. If not enough juice add enough water to equal 1 cup.
  • Add juice (or water) to the mix and then add the coconut. Mix well . Feel free to up the quantity of the coconut up to scant 2 cups. I usued add an overflowing cup. Mix well until coconut is incorporated.
  • Slowly pour the mix over the brown sugar and pineapple in the pan. Carefully place in the oven. Bake about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
  • When done, loosen the cake and place a large plate over the cake and flip cake onto the pan. Allow it to remain for a few minutes then remove the pan. Serve warm or room temp
